****** HOME DECOR ******
-Add Throw Blankets
Find some nice, quality throw blankets that coordinate with your living area and bedroom. A nice throw blanket on the living room couch encourages guests to make themselves right at home. Keeping a throw on your bed can give it a nice decorative touch. You can even pick out your most stylish throws and find a nice woven basket or blanket ladder to put them on display that invites your guests to grab a blanket and stay a while!
-Accentuate The Fireplace
If your house has a fireplace, highlight it by decorating the mantle area with things like vases, candles or other decorative pieces. However, don’t try too hard to follow a set decorative plan for your mantle. Finding pieces that work with your style and coordinate with the room will help give your space some personality. Also, putting one big focal piece, such as a mirror or painting, in the area above the fireplace will help draw the eye and pull the room together
-Let There Be (Candle) Light
Having plenty of candles around your home gives it a sense of warmth. Put a couple of candles in each room and people will feel a sense of comfort no matter where they are in your home. Plus, your home will smell great, too!
-Add Artwork
Hanging artwork and mirrors are the best way to decorate any home. In order to make the home cozy we aim to avoid blank walls. Artwork not only brings personality to the room but it also insulates walls. It reduces the echo in the house where the sound is bouncing off the walls.
Even though blank walls can absolutely be a design choice. You may decide to hang one single piece of artwork on a statement blank wall. However, it should be an intentional choice, reflecting you and your style. There are a variety of options for hanging on the wall: DIY abstract art; Paintings and artwork; Prints; Mirrors; Textile wall hangings Family photographs; Kids' artwork and more!
Artwork and paintings can get expensive. However, there are a lot of affordable print options that you can get online if original artwork is not for you.
With so many ideas circling the internet you can absolutely DIY artwork and frame it... And that's where we can help!
